Title
Linear circuits, two-variable logic and weakly blocked monoids
Abstract
Following recent works connecting two-variable logic to circuits and monoids, we establish, for numerical predicate sets P satisfying a certain closure property, a one-to-one correspondence between F O(<; P)-uniform linear circuits, two-variable formulas with P predicates, and weak block products of monoids. In particular, we consider the case of linear TC0, ma- jority quantiers, and nitely typed monoids. This correspondence will hold for any numerical predicate set which is F O(<)-closed and whose predicates do not depend on the input length.
